Outsource Solutions Group told small and midsize businesses to turn safer internet habits into daily practice, centering its guidance on MFA, password managers, patching, device encryption and tested incident-response plans.
The Naperville IT provider framed the risk as immediate for SMBs, saying ransomware, wire-transfer fraud and credential theft can freeze accounts, disrupt payroll and damage client relationships after a single breach.
Key data points in the guidance included 5.5 billion people online in 2025, an average of more than 90 passwords per user, and 44% of internet users reporting online harassment.
The company recommended quarterly awareness training, least-privilege access reviews, remote-wipe controls for mobile devices and tabletop exercises to improve detection speed and document compliance.
The broader message was that Safer Internet Day should serve as an annual reset for security culture, especially for family-owned firms whose work and home digital risks increasingly overlap.
